The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

Seeing that Old Zhu hadn't fallen for the trick and had instead escaped unscathed, Zhu Ming sighed softly, his face full of disappointment.

His favorite scene to watch was when Zhu Yuanzhang was humiliated in front of Empress Ma!

This is much more interesting than watching stand-up comedy.

Zhu Ming waved his little hand and said with a regretful look, "Alright, you pass."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the regretful expression on his son's face, as if he was disappointed that he hadn't been scolded by his sister, he was immediately furious.

No, this kid has been too arrogant lately.

He even betrayed his own father.

We must find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

"You brat, now it's your turn to answer our questions. Why did your mother regain her youth? Did that elixir have any side effects?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely anxious.

The little guy said calmly, "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that my master saw that I was smart, clever, and well-behaved, so he specially gave me a Nine-Turn Returning to Origin Innate Pill."

"What? It's actually the Nine-Turn Returning to Origin Innate Pill..." Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly surprised.

Zhu Ming looked up at him in surprise: "What, you've heard of it?"

"No, not at all." Old Zhu scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, and the next second he blurted out a sentence that made everyone burst out laughing.

"We just think the name sounds really cool, Nine Revolutions Returning to Origin Innate Pill, it sounds much more powerful than those Marrow Cleansing Pills or Body Tempering Pills."

Zhu Ming: "..."

He never expected that Old Zhu, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have such a talent for being a straight man!

"Do you still want to hear it?"

"Let me think about it!"

"Then don't interrupt me."

"Okay, okay!"

"I'm so young, it's really difficult for me to memorize so many lines!"

"Yes, yes, yes...wait a minute, lines? What lines?"

"That's not important. What's important is that you don't interrupt me!"

Zhu Ming stood with his hands on his hips, his less than one-meter-tall frame radiating an aura of three meters, silencing Zhu Yuanzhang so much that he dared not raise his head and could only nod repeatedly.

The founding emperor of the mighty Ming Dynasty could terrify his officials with a mere cough in court.

One day, he was scolded by his six-year-old son like a grandson.

The crucial point is that he didn't dare to have any objections!

If anyone else saw this, they would be absolutely stunned.

At this moment, Empress Ma couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Zhu Ming, "Alright, Ming'er, stop talking. Give your father some face."

This kid acts without thinking, and isn't afraid that Chongba will come after him later?

But Empress Ma didn't realize that Zhu Ming dared to be so arrogant because someone was backing him up.

Since his mother had spoken, Zhu Ming had no choice but to drop the subject and continue the previous conversation.

Where were we?

Xu Miaoyun, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "Speaking of your master, he thought you were clever, quick-witted, and well-behaved..."

"Alright, alright, that's enough." Zhu Ming quickly stopped him.

It's so shameful to hear such boastful words coming from someone else's mouth.

Xu Miaoyun and Empress Ma looked at Zhu Ming, who looked shy and embarrassed.

The two exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle, covering their mouths as they did so.

"Ahem, this Nine Revolutions Returning to Origin Innate Pill is the result of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refining it with Samadhi True Fire for a hundred years."

Zhu Ming opened his mouth and began to speak eloquently, leaving Old Zhu, who was standing beside him, completely bewildered.

Zhu Ming continued, "Whoever takes this pill will not only repair internal injuries, but also strengthen their body, become immune to all poisons, and maintain their youth forever!"

As soon as the words were spoken, three voices exclaimed in unison.

"Strengthening the body and making one immune to all poisons?"

"To stay young forever?"

Indeed, men and women always have different focuses.

Zhu Yuanzhang was interested in the fact that it could strengthen the body and make one immune to all poisons...

Especially the later part about being immune to all poisons,

This is incredibly useful for an emperor!

Empress Ma and Xu Miaoyun, on the other hand, were concerned with maintaining their youth. After all, what woman in the world doesn't crave eternal youth?

Take Empress Ma for example. She loved Zhu Chongba so much before, so why did she allow him to marry one concubine after another?

Is it really because she is generous and willing to share with other women?

It's because we've run out of options!

The concubines in the harem were all stunningly beautiful and alluring...

But she, having endured wind and rain every day in her early years, and suffering from exhaustion and mental strain in her later years, looked like an old woman even though she was only in her early forties.

To say she doesn't envy others is nonsense!

But now, it's other people's turn to envy her!

"Your Majesty, will you always be able to maintain this youthful appearance?" Xu Miaoyun asked with undisguised envy.

In her eyes, the Empress not only looked younger, but her skin also became delicate, firm, smooth and flawless, even better than her own skin.

Especially under the sunlight, the Empress seemed to be shining brightly.

How could Xu Miaoyun not be envious?!

But Empress Ma felt somewhat ashamed: "I'm already so old, and if I were to turn back into a young girl, wouldn't I be laughed to death by acquaintances?"

Xu Miaoyun stepped forward and took Empress Ma's arm, saying with envy, "How could that be? Your Majesty was already dignified and graceful, with unparalleled beauty, and now you have regained your youth."

"If others saw this, they'd be green with envy; they wouldn't dare laugh at you!"

Empress Ma was a little embarrassed by the praise. Although she said she was ashamed, she was actually quite happy inside.

After all, what woman in the world wouldn't want to be young and beautiful?

"Tomorrow too, it would be such a waste to use such precious elixirs on an old woman like me!" Empress Ma said, stroking her smooth arm with a look of heartache on her face.

She said that because she felt she wouldn't live much longer.

Although when I was pregnant with Ming'er

Zhu Ming used his own vital energy to nourish Empress Ma, which improved her health.

But this was far from enough for Empress Ma. The hidden wounds and losses she had accumulated in her early years had already seeped into her bones and were rotten to the core.

Even after taking the elixir, Empress Ma still felt that her days were numbered.

"Mother, don't worry about wasting it. I haven't finished explaining the effects of this pill yet. I haven't had a chance to tell you its greatest benefit." Zhu Ming stepped forward, hugged Empress Ma's leg, raised his little face, and said in a childish voice.

"There's more?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened in disbelief.

Strengthening the body, becoming immune to all poisons, maintaining youth... any one of these effects is a rare blessing in this world.

Unexpectedly, these are not the most precious benefits of this elixir?

"Ming'er, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly, what exactly is the greatest benefit of this pill?"

Zhu Yuanzhang already had a suspicion in his mind, which is why he became so excited.

Empress Ma and Xu Miaoyun also looked at Zhu Ming, their eyes filled with undisguised curiosity.

Zhu Ming raised his head, his little face full of pride, and said, "I already said it's an elixir of immortality. How could an elixir of immortality be such an inconvenient thing?"

Its most significant feature is that it helps people extend their lifespan!
